What's the usual hourly tuition fee for a 2-hour private IELTS-prep lesson in KSA? I'm not familar with the fee levels here.

Depending on how desperate and/or loaded they are, I'd say around 150-300 SAR...?

Be prepared to get the run-around from students. Get the money in advance and make it clear that times are fixed and that if they do not show without cancellation then the fee is still deducted form the advance.

I just posted what you see below in the "How can I make (net) the most money in Saudi Arabia?" thread:

SR. 150/hour is appropriate... for Y2K. It is 2010 now, and the going rate these days is SR. 200/hour to SR. 250/hour. The best thing is to quote 250 and then bring it down to 225 or 200 if necessary. Under no circusmtances should you accept 150, because if your fame spreads and you get more students, it would be difficult to charge others 200 or 250, as it would probably be known that you charge 150 from someone else.

It goes without saying, here, that we are talking about upper class students here, i.e., their parents are most probably business owners or in high positions earning several tens of thousands a month.

And yes, it is the same in all 3 major urban centres.
